Another Adventure over the mountains into Virginia.

Another Adventure over the mountains into Virginia. This time I took route 250, and stopped at a rest stop that we usually always stop at to take a break.It's a primitive place with outhouses, and no running water. Little did I know that it was an old Civil war fort and encampment. There were nearly a mile of trails and still existing trenches that the 12th Ga infantry unit used to bunker down for the Union's western offensive. I know it probably wasn't a good idea for me to go hiking trails in the middle of the Appalachian alone, with no one knowing where I was, but what started out as just a few feet up the trail turned into a very cool exploration of a historic site.As I twisted my way through the wooded trail-I begin to come across some awesome lookouts that were once used to combat oncoming Union forces. Below are two of the vista lookouts(facing east and west) from the breastworks. There were a couple of great places to sit and think there, and I also wished I had brought a sketchbook.
